$BTC started December with excitement — the price dropped below $86,000, and the market reacted with an avalanche of long position liquidations.
The reasons are simple but difficult for emotions: the outflow of ETFs and a decrease in liquidity, fear of a macro shock ( yen correction, an increase in profitability ), as well as statements from large corporate holders who do not rule out sales in the event of further declines — all of this fuels panic and amplifies volatility. On such days, a trader does not need forecasts — what is needed is discipline. Here’s what works simpler than prophets: 1) clear risk management ( max 1–2% of capital per trade ), 2) minimum margin or its absence, 3) plan of exit to entry, 4) DCA for long-term positions and 5) checking psychology: are you buying out of FOMO or logic? #Trading #Psychology The most valuable thing right now is not to "guess the bottom," but to preserve capital and nerves. Volatility creates opportunities for the prepared — but punishes those who trade on emotions.
